I have read TFP. I have tried the things on here. If my PH gets to basic, I end up with white build up on the SWG electrodes so I keep it low. I have been running my SWG for 10 hours a day and it seems like nothing is working. Salt level is where it needs to be, CYA is 70ppm: I get my chlorine...

I have tried the above. The CYA is around 90 ppm, I am running the SWG 10 hours a day with the pump. I lose about 2ppm of chlorine a day and my PH requires acid every 2-3 days to keep the PH around 7. It seems that the chlorine goes down and PH goes up every couple of days. It doesn't seem like...

Sorry for the delay, the responses are much appreciated. I will do both of those this week and see what happens. Thanks a lot! I'll post the results soon.

Hey all, I have a 7,500 gallon above ground pool. I have gotten and maintained all levels to the appropriate level. I run the pump (Intex 3,500 GPH sand filter) 10 hours a day and the SWG around 8 hours a day. My salt level is appropriate and I have not gotten any errors from the SWG. My CYA is...

Thank you all very much for the information. Is it safe to swim after adding bleach? If anyone knows a good method to clean the liner that would be great.

This is the shock I use...

Thanks again. To clarify, the EC7110 manual said to run it 8 hours a day for a 5,200 gallon pool. This is not enough? Should I be able to run the SWG for 24 hours and see a FC reading higher than 0? I have ran the pump for 2 days and had a FC of 0. With clear water (after shocking)Is that...

Thank you very much. How long do you suggest running the SWG? My CYA level is zero as I was told not to put in CYA until you get your chlorine level where you need it. I have also not been able to find any locally. I will look at getting a better testing strip. My PH has been a little high, but...

Where to start. This year I decided to try a saltwater pool. I have a 18'x48" above ground circular pool. I bought an intex 3,000 GPH sand filter pump and an Intex SWG EC7110. I added the salt, made sure the water levels were correct. Salt is at 3,000ppm. I ran the ionizer and pump for a few...
